Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biodegradable materials, specifically to a high-strength, tear-resistant biodegradable copolyester, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Biodegradable plastics have already replaced traditional non-degradable general-purpose plastics in many fields, alleviating "white pollution" on land to some extent. Among them, polybutylene terephthalate (PBAT) is undoubtedly one of the most popular materials due to its excellent comprehensive performance and wide range of applications. PBAT can be completely degraded through composting, but its degradation in seawater is very limited. Adding hydrophilic monomers such as diethylene glycol can improve its degradability in seawater and also provide good tensile strength. However, when PBAT copolymers with added hydrophilic monomers are blended with fillers such as mineral powder, the tensile properties, impact resistance, and tear resistance of the film are significantly reduced, resulting in easy breakage under load and easy cracking during tearing in downstream applications. Therefore, creating a PBAT biodegradable material with good degradability in seawater and high strength and tear resistance is extremely crucial. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a high-strength, tear-resistant, biodegradable copolyester, its preparation method, and its applications.

[0040] In the preparation of PBAT resin, this invention introduces glycidyl polyol amines as reinforcing agents into the polymerization reaction. First, the reinforcing agent containing polyfunctional hydroxyl groups can act as branching points to promote the reaction, improve production efficiency, and form a polymer with a three-dimensional structure, thereby improving the tensile strength and tear resistance of the copolyester. Second, after PBAT is modified with diethylene glycol, the crystallinity of the copolyester decreases significantly, resulting in lower impact strength. The introduction of amino groups can form hydrogen bonds with ester groups, enhancing intermolecular forces, promoting copolyester crystallization, and compensating for the inherent performance problems of the copolyester. In addition, glycidyl polyol amines can also combine with free terminal carboxyl groups generated by thermal degradation, reducing the acid value of the product and improving shelf life.

[0041] This invention effectively improves the mechanical properties of copolyester film bags by introducing glycidyl-based polyol amines as reinforcing agents during the polymerization process of PBAT-modified copolyester.

[0042] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the tear resistance is >3000mN, the dart impact resistance is >250g, the tensile strength is >50MPa, and the tensile modulus is >100MPa, to meet the application requirements of downstream membrane bags. Detailed Implementation
